    Not detecting hard drive after recent update


    I seem to be the only one having this issue, have done many searches only to find nothing, I have tried everything the trouble shoot mentioned with no luck, I've been using the hard drive for the media player and it has worked fine until the recent update
    happened and ever since it hasn't worked, the hard drive itself works fine for anything else I plug it into so it's definitely something on microsofts end, would appreciate some answers if anyone has had this issue before

    :)

    All I want to know is if the update caused this issue or not, I mean it worked fine before the update, I even restored my entire Xbox to factory settings and still did not resolve the issue, it did however ask if I wanted to use the drive for media or to
    format it, when I click media that's when the drive just becomes undetected and won't detect until I restore the Xbox, the latest update definitely caused issues for media use on drives

    Any new info on the hard drive issue? Haven't seen anything posted by Microsoft and no new updates, hopefully they fix this soon because it really sucks not being able to use a core feature of the Xbox

    This is ridiculous. That's nearly 2 full weeks I've got an external hard drive full of content that I cannot access because the last update was flaky.

    Can we have an official microsoft reply and estimated arrival of the "patch" to return it to how it should be please ?

  14. Hey, d3xt3r1874! Responses from myself, or other Mister/Misses accounts, are official Microsoft responses. You can check out the links in my signature for more information! I have no information on when this will be resolved other than the right teams are
    working on it. Once I do have more information, I will hop right back in here to update everyone. Thanks for understanding!

    I have to agree with d3xt3r1874 here, to be honest it is taking them quite some time to fix such a core feature without even giving us any information of when we'll get to use our hard drives again. You'd figure they would be a bit hasty with this fix because
    it's very inconvenient especially when half or more of your game library is on the external hard drive. Games that we have bought with our own money are now unplayable unless you remove games from the internal hard drive itself which is still inconvenient
    because then you have to download them again and not everyone has an unlimited data cap ISP.
